2016 JGP St Gervais Ladies SP

[silverfoxes]

Mikhailova must be pissed :disapp:

Why? As of right now, nobody knows why Anna had to withdraw. If in fact there was an accident, or if she is injured/ill, that's not her fault and I would think most normal people would have empathy for her. I really don't think you should try to assign feelings to a young skater you don't know personally. And who is to say she won't get another assignment?

Breaking news!
There has been a crash involving one of the buses taking competitors to the rink at the JGP in ST GERVAIS. Two skaters and two coaches have been taken away by ambulance, the skaters are believed to be a Russian and a Latvian!

No GB skaters are injured but were in the bus behind.

Why did Anna withdraw? Is she injured? They should have sent a reserve to the comp as well

hope nothing critical happened

Anna's my favourite in this competition. I'm sort of upset that I probably won't get to see her in any other events...

I take back my Mihailova post
Fingers crossed that the skaters will be fine.

I wonder if they would let them compete if they wanted to.
But first of all I hope everyone is okay and healthy!

Come on...it's the JGP, they aren't going to send alternates. Think how expensive that would be for a federation (they don't even do it for major senior competitions). And unfortunately it does sound like she could be injured. Hopefully not seriously.

I hope skaters and coaches are ok.

What a bad luck!!

If the accident happened en route to the rink, nobody would have any indication beforehand that Anna might not be able to compete. As it is, hope that everyone is OK and also hope that if the 2 skaters are able to compete, that they get a chance to do so. It wasn't their fault that this happened after all.

I hope it's only to check up on them! :hopelessness:

 

[catchie]

It also says that they are receiving "medicinical help" but there is no danger to their lives.

 

[cathlen]

That's terrible I hope they will be taken good care of.

 

[Layback11]

Oh, no

They must be heartbroken that they didn't get to skate but at least they're not (if the above post is true) in critical condition. I really hope they're not badly injured :sad21:

Just caught up with this event, the Russian and Japanese girls were brilliant.
Hope the people who were in the bus accident are okay.
